The crossguard of each SEF longsword is hand-forged from 5160 steel, and heat treated for strength and durability.

The pommel of the SEF longsword is important to give it the balance and feel it needs to be usable in either one or two hands. Options include Disc (Type G), Wheel (Type K), Faceted Scent Stopper (Type T), Round Scent Stopper (Type T2), or Fishtail (Type V1).

Grips are made of impact-resistant polycarbonate, covered with a layer of cotton cord, and finished with hand-dyed veg-tan leather.
